in Installing and Updating (Windows)
I purchased the Quicken 2017 Deluxe from amazon.com a couple of years ago.
I want to upgrade to the current version. What are the necessary steps?

If I purchase the Quicken Deluxe (2 year) from a promotion from quicken.com, do I just download and install? Does the installation take care of existing program and install over it?
I dont have to uninstall the current version? I just run the install program?

Thanks in advances

    Thank you Frankx. There was a link from your post which answered my concern.

    “Do I have to uninstall my old version first?”

    You won't have to worry about uninstalling your old version of Quicken before installing your new one. Quicken will uninstall your old version for you first before installing your new version.

    I am pretty sure I uninstalled my old program. We read that it wouldn't go away but we can get on now. I don't want to lose what I already had in Quicken..How how can I get the old back where I can at least refer to it if I need to do so.

    Your data is not part of the program that you uninstalled - your datd is contained in your QDF (Quicken Data File) and that doesn't go away - your new program uses that (unless for some unknown reason you choose to start from scratch and create a new data file).  In addition, hopefully you are regularly "backing-up" your QDF, which means if something does go wrong, you won't lose much (or maybe any) data.
